About this work

This painting shows two women standing side by side, both wearing long robes and golden halos. The woman on the left holds a long white cloth, while the one on the right holds a staff. Behind them, a faded building with red doors and a dove flying above adds a simple background. The painting looks old, with some colors worn away, especially on the robes. The faces are calm and serious, painted in flat colors with little shading. Next, look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists create depth with lines.
